Ok, Ive been reading a good amount HUSH lately. I noticed that sometimes I dont understand what you guys mean when you use some sorta poker slang or some form of acronyms when describing strategy. Can you guys please explain some of the more common slang/acronyms?

Example...
FPS
peel a card? peel one on the flop? etc
donk bet

Im pretty sure when you guys say "donk bet," you guys mean to "gay bet." As in someone bets out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Any other phrases or slang I should know? that may be unique to HUSH?

Thanks for helping me with my noobish question... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Fancy Play Syndrome

Peel means to call, looking at the next card, folding UI.

Donk bet means to bet the next street after your last action was to call.

I think these are wrong. You can peel by calling a 3-bet, often done with pocket pairs after you've been raised with an overcard, but you peel because you have odds to hit your 2 outs.

Also the raise preflop/bet flop isnt a donk bet, is usually on the post flop streets, such as check-calling the flop, then betting a 'blank' on the turn. The key feature of a donk bet is the card is a seemingly blank card

Peeling usually refers to the situation where you call only one small bet on the flop closing the action to see the turn card with thin odds.

This isn't exactly true. That can also be a stop-n-go. When you bet, are raised, and smooth-call then bet out the next street, that's a stop-n-go. When you check-call and then bet the next street, that's a donk bet.

Btw, the term "fany play syndrome" was invented by Mike Caro.

This would imply that the word "gay" is usually used in a non-pejorative way. I don't see how that can be accurate considering homosexuality is akin to alcoholism. Both actions have a choice, disease, addiction, and sin components.

For example. If I said, "Why did you fold the river in a huge pot!? Were you drunk?"

I don't think there are going to be too many people complaining that the word "drunk" is used in a pejorative manner.

I was trying to explain that I don't understand how "gay" can NOT be used in a pejorative manner.

Feel free to explain.

I'd rather not get into it, and I won't. If for some reason you were being serious -- i.e., not sarcastic, about homosexuality involving disease, addiction, and sin -- then I'm done.

If you were not being serious or making some reference/joke thing I didn't understand, then I apologize.

Please take your opinions to the OOT forum.

This is a poker forum, all the reguler users treat it that way and you should to.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct.

I will make sure that I respond to those complaining in the first place, with " Please take your opinions to the OOT forum.

PS Lock this thread.
